When I have a retail question I call a store located in part of VA where the employees speak ENGLISH

This does not make you a bad person. However, it is likely a symptom of other beliefs that DO make you a bad person.

Charlottesville, Richmond. Try it sometime.

If you are not multi-lingual, I suppose you have no other choice. Not bad, only -- well -- you know.

The chance of being fluent in the language the employee speaks is ... well, you know.

They are retail lifers. They are in it for the long haul until they retire. Many have graduated from a college.

Unlike the DC area where the employees barely speak English or are just working retail until something better comes along.

Do we really need two separate threads today on this topic?

No I am not.

Just admit it you are the same person of the tech support thread.

How often do you call retail stores? I haven't found too many clerks here who don't speak English.

No says the lib who is fluent in Ukranian, Pushtu, Urdu, and Spanish. My home is in a non-gated community, very diverse community -- you know the kind in which you do not live.

I can't remember the last time I called a retail store. When I actually go to a retail store, the employees speak English. Though it's possible that OP would not consider them to be speaking ENGLISH, since for many of them, English is the second, third, or fourth language.

I'm not in Va, but I once went to a KMart in Wheaton MD to buy some Christmas decorations and I couldn't find ONE person in the entire store that spoke English to answer a question I had. Pretty depressing.

You were there, and I wasn't, but I find this very hard to believe.

If I spent $39,000 on kitchen cabinets, I'd be embarrassed, not braggy (humble or otherwise).
